After Action Report

The Bulls edged the Heat 114-105. Bulls' offense had its way with the Heat. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
